Change to Deity pets on Test tonight

[Deila]

<DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Nothing about this that I noticed in tonight's Test patch notes when I scan-read them, but I've noticed some changes you'll all likely want to hear about.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My deity pet (Cazic-Thule, in my case) is no longer being treated like a 'real' pet. He doesn't hold pet buffs, nor receive them... but power tapping or using the WIS line achievement heal isn't killing him off either. Seems to be behaving the way I wanted these pets to - like a buff with a cute little pet graphic.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

This was bound to happen, just a shame it happened so quickly. I loved the fact my deity pet held the buffs, meant I could get my pet back up quickly mid fight during raids.

So they fixed the part that helped us.  Did they fix the part that hurt us?  Does it still take over the real pet window so that I either can't control it or I can't control my pet?  Does the pet window still stay up when the real pet dies so it's hard to tell if the real pet is dead unless it's in your field of view?<div></div>

Perhaps tell our groups to pay us plat for recasting our pets?Or at least ask them to wait while we do.

Its a huge WOOP i  am not bothered about it not being able to hold our buffs (that was a bugg after all).  On raids grouping etc it was a royal pain in the [Removed for Content] and one that should have been spotted along time ago and changed, be nice to see if they have actually done the same with other controlled pet. (wishfull thinking though) just happy its a step in the right direction.<div></div>

Wow I never realised how hard it was to remember to cast your main pet before the deity pet, guess I must be something exceptional to be able to remember something as hard as this.......Yes it would be nice to have multiple pet windows, but for me it was far better to have the deity pet holding the buffs and so cutting down on the length of time it would take me to get back in a fight. Once fight was done I just recast my deity pet to make sure the main pet was back in the main window.

Well I suppose that means you also can no longer park it at zone-in. Looks like we need a /hidedeitypets command now, since they are sure in the way for the simple buff they are now...
